No. 44 Carlos Santana

Position: C

Age: 27

B/T: B/R

Team: Cleveland Indians

Lowdown: Hard to blame the Indians for getting Santana out from behind the plate as much as possible; Santana played 29 games at first in 2013. After all, he was one of only six catchers in baseball to hit at least 20 homers, one of eight to drive in at least 70 runs and Santana did it while slashing .268/.377/.455. In fact, only Yadier Molina and Joe Mauer had a better slugging percentage among qualifying catchers.
